Plantiga Announces Official NBA Partnership
We are excited to officially be part of the National Basketball Association (NBA) family through their Launchpad program! We will work closely with the league and the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) on building a first-of-its-kind dataset with insights on how athletes in women’s basketball move on the court - from grassroots players to college to professionals.
Our collective goals are aimed at better understanding the injury mechanisms, performance demands, loads, and asymmetries that are present in the environments where these athletes compete. We are incredibly stoked about this work as it is a tremendous opportunity to advance women’s specific sports science, which severely lacks the world of sports.
Part of this was triggered by the fact that we have passed the NBA’s rigorous third-party validation process and are now on their approved wearables list!
